new to beach detecting

Hey Folks, I'm bringing my XP Deus to Florida to do some beach detecting this winter. Totally new to this type of detecting. I heard the Deus suffers in wet sand, is that true? Anyone use the coax cable antenna for shallow water? Any tips? Thanks

Hi Dirtdog, I've never taken my Deus to the beach yet. Can't help you on the wet sand question. Good luck and let us know how you make out.
